Shen Yunchu was a little strange, and didn't understand what he meant. Who knows, Zhu Mingtang looked at her for a long time, and a smile suddenly broke out on his originally majestic and untouchable expression.

He seemed to be muttering to himself, with an inexplicable emotion flashing in his sharp eyes, he said: "I never thought that bastard Shen Jichang could give birth to a girl doll with such a symbol, it's really cheap for him."

As he spoke, he sneered for a while, looked left and right, Bai Yuheng had already gone to the lobby with Hong Yuanqing, and there was no one else around, he looked at Shen Yunchu with some amusement in his eyes, and blurted out: "Little girl, your father and mother Who hurts you more?"

Shen Yunchu looked at him with surprise in his eyes. In his impression, this old man was very serious. They hadn't met a few times in the last life, and they were all on important occasions.

He always frowned, his eyes were sharp and murderous, making people intimidated, so when he asked this sentence, Shen Yunchu only felt that his eyelids were twitching involuntarily.

She opened her mouth and didn't know how to answer for a while, but the other party didn't seem to care, just stroked her beard in a good mood, looked at Shen Yunchu with a smile, and murmured: "This little girl, really Interesting."

Saying that, he laughed and walked away to himself.

Shen Yunchu stood there, still a little surprised by what happened just now. She turned her head and glanced at Lin Lang beside her. As their eyes met, she also saw surprise from the bottom of Lin Lang's eyes. Only then did Shen Yunchu believe that everything that happened just now was true. real.

She turned her head and looked at Zhu Mingtang's back in a daze, but one thing was certain, that was her father had a bad temper when he was young.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people hurting him.

Zhu Mingtang did seem to be about the same age as Shen Jichang. According to Hong Yuanqing, he was even a few years older than Shen Jichang.

They are both officials in the court, so they naturally know each other, but it is said that the relationship between Shen Jichang and Zhu Mingtang is also very tense.

To be precise, in the words of Hong Yuanqing: "General Shen has a good relationship with His Majesty in the entire court, but his relationship with others is not very good, but if you say it is bad, it is not bad, anyway. People can resist exchanging insults with Mr. Shen."

But Zhu Mingtang is a civil servant, compared to Rufu's blunt ridicule, he said loftily and proudly: I don't bother arguing with you, noisy!

Thinking about it carefully, in fact, Shen Yunchu didn't know much about Zhu Mingtang, he only knew that he was an upright official, everyone praised him, but the strange thing was that in Shen Yunchu's impression, he seemed to have never been to the Shen family.

Whether it was the Shen family banquet or anything else, Zhu Mingtang never went to the Shen family in his past and present lives.

If you are not familiar with each other, it seems that you are not familiar today. After all, judging from the tone of his speech just now, he and Shen Jichang should not be considered unfamiliar.

But to be familiar, he has never been to Shen's house, and he hasn't even heard Shen Jichang or anyone else deliberately mention it, and he doesn't remember any festivals between them.

When it comes to status, Zhu Mingtang's going to the Shen family, whether it's a banquet or something, is not considered a self-deprecation according to the status of the Shen family in the imperial city.

It's really strange...

But when Shen Yunchu helped Hong Yuanqing sort out the clues, he inadvertently chatted about the past of the Shen family and the Zhu family, and Shen Yunchu finally understood the whole story.

I heard from Hong Yuanqing that Zhu Mingtang had a younger sister named Zhu Qiqi who died a long time ago and died of illness when she died. At that time she liked Shen Jichang very much.

The origin of the two people and a hero saving the beauty, very old-fashioned drama, is common in the kind of story books, the heroine is kidnapped by bandits on the way back, the hero descends like a god to save the heroine and is in danger .

That's right, Zhu Qiqi is the heroine, and Shen Jichang is the hero. Since then, Zhu Qiqi has fallen in love with Shen Jichang just like the heroine in the storybook.

But at that time, Shen Jichang had just met Bai Weiyu, and fell in love at first sight, so he naturally did not accept Zhu Qiqi's overture.

Later, she heard that Zhu Qiqi's health became worse and worse after that, so she begged Zhu Mingtang to help her fulfill her last wish, which was to marry Shen Jichang.

Zhu Mingtang went to find Shen Jichang specifically for this, but Shen Jichang's stand was firm and there was no room for negotiation, even if it was just a joke, he would never do that.

Things didn't work out, and Zhu Qiqi didn't survive the early spring of that year, and died in the cold winter with heavy snowfall. Since then, Zhu Mingtang has been very angry. Although he knew it wasn't Shen Jichang's fault, the brother-sister relationship that depended on each other since childhood, Let him be irrational no matter what.

Until he found out about Sun Qiao's matter, which was obviously similar to Zhu Qiqi's, and it could even be said to be exactly the same, but Shen Jichang agreed to take her directly back to Shen's residence, Zhu Mingtang felt even more uncomfortable.

He asked himself, his younger sister was not bad in appearance, although she was not considered an alluring woman, she was one of the most beautiful girls among all the girls, and she was not inferior to that Sun Qiao in terms of talent, so why couldn't she win the favor of General Shen?

Zhu Mingtang was in a hurry and broke off contact with the Shen family directly. As long as he heard that it was the Shen family's affairs, he would never intervene. In his own words: "If there is any accident in the Shen family someday, don't expect me to be able to deal with it." Whatever you do, if I don't make trouble, that is the greatest kindness."

As Hong Yuanqing said, he sighed again and again, seeing Shen Yunchu's heavy expression, he smiled and comforted her: "Don't worry, in fact, the reason why Miss Zhu died of illness may be a very small part because your father doesn't like her, and more Most of it is that she is not in good health, and now she is depressed, so naturally there is nothing she can do."

Listening to Hong Yuanqing's words, Shen Yunchu just lowered his eyes and did not express his opinion. In fact, what Hong Yuanqing said was correct. Perhaps Shen Jichang was not the murderer, but in the final analysis, that was also the last blow to crush the camel. straw.

It's just good luck making fun of people, Zhu Qiqi is so stupid.

But when it comes to Sun Qiao's matter, her father can't be blamed for it. After all, Sun Qiao's situation at that time was different from Zhu Qiqi's. Her father brought Sun Qiao back out of good intentions.

The Sun family's fortunes are falling, and it's a last resort. Zhu Qiqi is different. I wish the family great success, and there is no need for Shen Jichang to protect her.

While thinking about it, Shen Yunchu asked him again: "Then Mr. Zhu, does he still hold grudges against the Shen family?"

Hong Yuanqing shook her head without hesitation, and said with a smile: "If you say you don't hate, maybe you do, but after so many years, what's the use of hating? Maybe adults also want to understand that life and death depend on fate and wealth. God, otherwise you might not be able to enter the gate of Dali Temple."

Yes, no matter what, this is also Zhu Mingtang's place, he still has this right, if he really doesn't want people from the Shen family to come here, it's just a matter of saying.

Just as he was thinking about it, there was a sudden knock on the open door. Shen Yunchu hurriedly came back to his senses. The two of them subconsciously looked up. The servant stood at the door and greeted him respectfully: "Master Hong, Miss Shen, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Master Zhu, please go to the hall."

Shen Yunchu was startled, "Am I going too?"

The boy nodded, and replied with a smile on his face: "Yes, Mr. Zhu has specially ordered, and Miss Shen must be present."

After finishing speaking, the boy saw Li again, and left without turning his head. Shen Yunchu frowned, and a bad premonition suddenly rose in his heart.

Logically speaking, if they wanted to discuss the case, it would be impossible for them to take her as a "child". Just imagine, even Hong Yuanqing thought she was here to play, let alone Zhu Mingtang.

Seemingly seeing the uneasiness on Shen Yunchu's face, Hong Yuanqing smiled and comforted her: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhu just looks fierce, but he is actually very kind."
